worldmet

Functions to import data from more than 30,000 surface meteorological sites around the world managed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Integrated Surface Database (ISD, see ). https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/worldmet/index.html https://github.com/davidcarslaw/worldmet Hong note: it seems worldmet only provide pre-defined sites. In Bukhari et al, 2020, effects of weather on coronavirus pandmic, USA weather were provided at the state level. For many other countries, weather were estiamted from the busiest airports.

These worked
reporting_delay <- bootstrapped_dist_fit(rlnorm(100, log(4), 1), max_value = 30)
generation_time <- get_generation_time(disease = "SARS-CoV-2", source = "ganyani")
incubation_period <- get_incubation_period(disease = "SARS-CoV-2", source = "lauer")

estimates <- epinow(reported_cases = local_cases, samples=100, output='samples',
                    generation_time = generation_time,
                    delays = list(incubation_period, reporting_delay))

localRtTb = estimates$estimates$summarised[ estimates$estimates$summarised$variable=='R' , ]



It seems the default setting is recommended. 
# Note: all examples below have been tuned to reduce the runtimes of examples # these settings are not suggesed for real world use. # run model with default setting


It seems that by default, Rt varies. 
# run model with stationary Rt assumption (likely to provide biased real-time estimates) stat <- estimate_infections(reported_cases, generation_time = generation_time, delays = list(incubation_period, reporting_delay), stan_args = list(warmup = 200, cores = ifelse(interactive(), 4, 1), control = list(adapt_delta = 0.9)), stationary = TRUE)

down load ERA5 land hourly data

 

ERA5 land hours data was last updated on July 12. 

I selected all 2020, all day, and all hours, it is 45.8 GB, which will take 12 hours to download at home.


I ssh into my simcenter workstation, 

wget url, 

which runs with an estimated time of a little over 2 hours.
